@scottschliewe@Tesla More money does not equal more happiness past a certain point..it can even negatively impact happiness. That is well studied. I'd incentive him in other ways..like spiritual or mental health benefits. Time to spend with family and friends. Help to take some things off his plate.
@scottschliewe@Tesla My argument is I think financial incentive is kind of silly honestly. If Elon were doing this for money at this point I'd be very concerned for his humanity. He's talked about not spending on luxuries like big houses in the past. Is there anything in the world he couldn't buy?
@DOGE@SecretaryLCD@USDOL Question: Does the cotton end up in American garments? If so, the program would be to keep slave labor from our clothes. If slave labor is used in our clothes, big companies will continue to source the cheapest source which puts America last.
The Governor and “conservatives” say take income taxes from 6.2% to 6%. Take another $1.2 BILLION in tax dollars and put it into the EVER growing state “Rainy Day Savings” fund.
Well, I say there have been TOO MANY RAINY DAYS for S.C. citizens! Take the State Income Tax to ZERO. It’s time for South Carolina to share its financial health and wealth with YOU, The WORKING People! Watch this video, like and SHARE if you agree. 🇺🇸
President Trump scammed American workers. He promised to bring back manufacturing, raise wages, fix trade deals, close the carried interest loophole, and help small farmers. But everything President Trump achieved were things the Republican machine wanted. We got a tax cut for Jeff Bezos, deregulation for special interests, and giveaways to agriculture conglomerates.
President Trump let the Bush wing of the GOP run all his agencies. His Interior Secretary was an oil & gas lobbyist. His Defense Secretary was a Raytheon lobbyist. His EPA Administrator was a coal lobbyist. His HHS Secretary was a pharmaceutical lobbyist. And his Labor Secretary was a lawyer for mega corporations.
President Trump’s supposed support for farmers ($28 billion) all went to Big Ag conglomerates.
We had the worst rioting and looting this country had seen since the 60s under President Trump. He inflamed racial tensions and didn’t keep us safe. Instead of using federal law enforcement to stop the rioting, Trump thought it was good optics to let Democrat-run cities burn.
President Trump bragged about arming Ukraine more than Obama did. He also walked away unilaterally from the intermediate range nuclear missile treaty with Russia, destabilizing our relationship. He also exacerbated tensions between Ukraine and Russia that ultimately caused a war.
Trump appointed the worst neocons to the highest positions of power in his administration: John Bolton, HR McMaster, and Robert O’Brien. Now, Lindsey Graham is one of his top advisors and likely to be his Secretary of State.
President Trump bombed Syria, killed an Iranian general, and failed to fulfill his promise of ending the war in Afghanistan.
President Trump invented lockdowns. He shut down millions of small businesses and facilitated the greatest wealth transfer to billionaires in this country’s history.
President Trump did nothing to solve the opioid crisis. It got far worse under his tenure while his appointees running HHS were in the pocket of big pharma.
If you think a second Trump term would be any different, you are engaging in wishful thinking.
@realDavidBJr@elonmusk@realDonaldTrump Can you explain this? Use the things that impact Americans most when it comes to inflation: Groceries, Clothes, Restaurants, Soap, Rent or Mortgage..
@uberboyo Christ submission to death and subsequent resurrection breaks the dualistic good guys and bad guys. The only good guy in the gospels is Jesus, and Jesus forgives from the cross and restores after the resurrection, destroying the idea of bad guys.
@uberboyo A crucified Christ brings slave morality...a resurrected Christ breaks both categories & replaces it with Christ morality. Christ morality lowers the master and raises the slave. Christ morality lays life down for saint & sinner, powerful & powerless..and conquers fear of death!
@rustyrockets Beautiful! It sounds like you're going in the right direction! Don't get caught in the false loop, keep going deeper into your false self!
@ShaneClaiborne Love the concept! Do you know what kind of shirts they are? Are they @FAIRTRADE shirts? I always hate when a cause sells TShirts that might be made in sweatshops with slave labor or exploitation.
@RuslanKD@lyddt@ShaneClaiborne Bro u gotta learn to hold some different perspectives..Kingdom life is bigger than Ws & Ls, keep working towards Jesus, He will help you move past that ego. It's all love homie, keep open to the spirit & we can all learn & grow. Iron sharpens Iron means there has to be friction.
@RuslanKD@lyddt Lol, that's literally what I said...it's not about pacifism. It's about subversive rebellion! Instead of returning violence for violence Jesus made them see themselves! MLK did the same during the Civil rights movement, exposing the hearts of the violent oppressors!
@RuslanKD@lyddt Totally agree about extracting principles, that's why I said we're left to wrestle with it on our own. I'm not trying to argue with you and be right or wrong, I'm trying to help advance the conversation. Politics has divided us into tribes and language is their weapon.
@RuslanKD@lyddt Modern commentaries often over spiritualize and take passages out of original context. Look for commentaries that focus on the history of the time it was written instead of ones that interpret the text for you. The Bible Project has great resources!
